I’ve been trying to sum up the courage to do this for a while, and then it came to me in one quick, blindingly obvious flash.

You know the reviews section I half put up a while back? I now want to bring it down. Actually I already have.

If you remember, I recently published 5 user reviews of the Aspire 5920 and it was, as far as I am concerned, the best thing this blog has done since it started. I mean, what better way to “engage the public” than let them tell you what your products are like? By letting real customers dissect, photograph and review their own products without editing anything more than the odd spelling mistake, I think we’re doing everyone a good service.

I know it all sounds a bit like the user review section on Amazon or some other high-volume commercial site but in reality it’s not. This is turning the tables 180°. It’s letting you tell the world what you think and giving you a place to stand up for what you said. It’s my firm belief that Acer products aren’t all that bad and that the people who buy them bought them for a pretty good reason so why not get you the user/customer to share your thoughts.

Besides, does anyone really read site reviews you can’t talk back to?

So, there it is. An open invitation to vent your frustration or sing your Acer’s praises. Please mail me at reviews AT theacerguy dot com if you have one you’d like me to post. Just keep the swear words out ;-)
